Always

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

That's a hard thing to do when everything's going wrong. "Be joyful always." That isn't always the thing we want to do when nothing is going our way. "Give thanks in all circumstances." When we're angry, we usually don't want to thank someone. But the Bible states it pretty clearly: always be joyful, always pray, always give thanks. How can we even begin to do that?

All we have to do is remember. Remember that God created you. Remember that God gave you a choice. Remember that God died for you. Remember that God saved you. Remember that God is making a place for you to be with him for eternity. Can you remember all that?
